It is once again time for the Associated Students, Inc. (ASI) Student Government Elections! Whether you are interested in putting your name in the race to be an ASI Student Leader or want to learn more about how and when to cast your vote, we are here to provide you with all the information on the 2024 ASI Elections.
Want to run for Student Government?
ASI Student Leaders advocate for the interests of Cal Poly Pomona (CPP) students and serve on ASI’s Board of Directors. They have the unique opportunity to have a say in decisions that affect CPP students and the campus. In past years, ASI Student Leaders have advocated for long-lasting changes to CPP, including the construction of the Bronco Recreation and Intramural Complex (BRIC) as well as the implementation of CPP’s on-campus food pantry, the Poly Pantry.
Positions available to run for include ASI President, ASI Vice President, and 12 Senator positions. Senators align with each of CPP’s eight colleges and four councils (Inter-Hall, Multicultural, Greek, and Student Interest.)
If you are interested in running, please note the following dates:

To ensure you’re voting for the candidates you think will best represent you as a CPP student, making an informed decision is essential.
